Before a federal judge sentenced a 33-year-old Supermax prison inmate to an additional 27-month term in prison Wednesday, the inmate told her that he makes dangerous threats so that he’ll be placed in solitary confinement, where it is safe.

Brian Murray, who authorities say is mentally ill, told U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello that he has been kept in solitary confinement for 16 years because he threatens people and violates prison rules for his own protection.

Murray said he’d rather be in solitary confinement, where he said he has a mouse tethered on a string of dental floss, than on the yard with white supremacists who are out to get him because he refuses to join their gangs.

“When I’m out of my cell, I feel weird,” Murray said.
